Ecotrail La Casentina 2026

Ecotrail La Casentina is a trail running event in Castel San Niccolò, located in Tuscany’s Casentino area. Dama serves as the start and finish village. The event is also known by its longer name, “Ecotrail tra i Borghi di San Francesco e Michelangelo,” indicating its focus: running off-road between small Tuscan villages associated with these two historical figures. The route begins and concludes in Dama, connecting villages throughout the Casentino region instead of following roads or a town circuit. Giuseppe Ciabatti established the event, and organizers provide runners with a Garmin course file and local race guidance. Broader La Casentina information highlights medieval villages, the core of Casentino, and regional food products, presenting the day as a local valley race alongside its sporting aspect.
